The only reason I see that will explain Blizzards take on this is if they want to reduce the number of guilds. Maybe they will say something like "We want fewer but more meaningful guilds, DURP DUURP".

I think it makes sense in a way, guilds that used to cooperate may take the cooperation to a new level by fully merging into one guild bringing them closer. Also reducing the amount of guilds will make it easier to get known also, instead of being one in hundreds of guilds one might be one in tens of guilds instead - easier to get a negative/positive reputation etc.

Personally I think this seems like a good change, guilds will be encouraged to merge into larger guilds and small guilds will become less attractive. The reason I like this is that there is too many guilds for me to keep track of, there is four guilds on my server that I know something about - namely if they are good or bad.
